Your Real Champion®: The Star Spangled Banner

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our nation this coming week on July 4, relive the story of
Francis Scott Key, the young lawyer and poet who risked his life during the War of 1812 when the
British invaded our soil. Inspired by the victory at Fort McHenry and moved by emotion at the sight of the U.S. flag that survived the attack, he penned the “Star Spangled Banner,” our magnificent national anthem. Happy birthday, America!

Each week, we highlight the Real Champions in your life! Your family, friends, or colleagues who go the extra mile to help others in their community.
